What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“My desire to work for the upliftment of the education field”

I have been shifted to the field of education from Industry in the year 2004 with a wide experience in the area of civil engineering planning, designing, and highway consultancy domain. My keen interest in the area of research and development motivates me to encourage students and guide them to learn various skills beyond the curriculum because I strongly believe the saying of Sir Albert Einstein that “Education is not learning of facts but the training of the mind to think”

We have to focus on Project/research-based quality education and we have to find out the problem of infrastructure and basic facilities to the students related to the research and the practical exposures related to industry standards.
